In an extraordinary match, a performance by top players in the semi-finals of the European Cup, Radni\u010dki defeated Marseille 17:14 (3:2, 3:5, 7:5, 4:2) and travels to France with a three-goal advantage, where the second leg will be played on May 9. Three goals is a nice advantage, but after everything we’ve seen, it means absolutely nothing. <\/p>\n\n
Strahinja Ra\u0161ovi\u0107, Du\u0161ko Pijetlovi\u0107, who celebrated his 41st birthday today, goalkeeper Filipovi\u0107 (13 saves), Nikola Jak\u0161i\u0107, who played half the game with one eye half-closed, and the calm Vlahopulos played brilliantly… <\/p>\n\n
The first quarter was marked by very good defenses on both sides. Strahinja Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 with two goals and Du\u0161ko Pijetlovi\u0107 with an excellent roll were the more prominent individuals. Top player Thomas Verneuil was well stopped. A real trench battle was seen, where the opponent’s mistake was expected. Marseille led all the way, Radni\u010dki turned it around for plus one at the first break. <\/p>\n\n
In the second half, with the score 4:3 for Radnicki, Marseille made a turnaround with two goals. The first was scored by Spai\u0107 after a previously great save by Filipovi\u0107 and a rebound, and the second by a Gbadamasi screw. However, during the first goal in the duel between Vernou and Nikola Jak\u0161i\u0107, the Serbian player was hit in the eye and the referees did not react to it. Jak\u0161i\u0107 did not return to the match until the end of the quarter. Vapenski equalized at 5:5, and Pijetlovi\u0107 converted a great assist from Strahinja Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 into 6:5. The home team did not preserve the advantage, several mistakes in attack, so Kalogeropulos from distance and the awakened Thomas Vernou brought a minimal advantage to the French team. <\/p>\n\n
After the break, a real explosion of Kragujevac’s attack. Nikola Jak\u0161i\u0107 returned at his own insistence, with his eye half-closed. The home team was almost flawless in attack, scoring seven goals, Vlahopulos and Strahinja Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 excelled, but the referees played a key role at the moment. With the score at 12:10 for Radni\u010dki, Pijetlovi\u0107’s action was not sanctioned with an obvious five-pointer. The home team’s bench went “half crazy” and while the protests were going on, the French performed an action that the referees now justifiably sanctioned with a five-pointer, a decision they should have made a few seconds earlier in favor of the home team. The home team’s assistant coach was sent off. Radni\u010dki kept the lead, which was reduced by Na\u0111i seven seconds before the end of the third quarter. Marseille held Verna and Krusi<\/p>\n\n
Nikola Jak\u0161i\u0107 immediately scored in the last part. Agile Radni\u010dki had 16:13 before the guest captain Krusi reduced the score. The French were angry with the referees, \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107 received a red card. The French could have gone down to minus one, but the brilliant Filipovi\u0107 saved Na\u0111o’s shot. In the last attack, the enthusiastic Vlahopulos put the ball in Te\u0161anovi\u0107’s net, and in the last 27 seconds Filipovi\u0107 neutralized the player more twice for a big victory 17:14. <\/p>\n\n
Uro\u0161 Stevanovi\u0107 was satisfied with the victory:<\/p>\n\n
– Congratulations to Jaksic who played with one eye half-closed. The team also deserves congratulations, we were calm, we knew that this was the first match and that everything was important now. This is the maximum difference in this match. Nothing is over, the audience enjoyed it. We will have to endure everything in Marseille. They were looking for each other just like we did in the first part of the season. Let’s go, defense by defense, attack by attack. We have to be patient, we will try to win another final <\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n In the second semi-final match, Jadran defeated BVSC 13:12 (1:2, 5:3, 4:2, 3:5) in Split.<\/p>\n\n Radnicki – Marseille 17:14 (3:2, 3:5, 7:5, 4:2)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Radnicki Pool.
